This takes less than one minute and is incredibly accurate...well worth the little bit of effort.
This test has only one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer you will discover where you stand morally.
THE SITUATION:
You are in Miami with chaos all around you caused by a hurricane. There is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.
THE TEST:
Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the man looks like...good heavens - it's Donald Trump! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever.
YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:
You can save the life of President Trump OR you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the last minutes of one of the world's most powerful men.
THE QUESTION:
Would you
A) select high contrast colour film,
OR
B) go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
